Fort Lauderdale, FL Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker
Beach ceremonies, ballroom evenings, and light that forgives nothing and rewards everything — Fort Lauderdale weddings keep us on our toes.
Beach ceremonies, ballroom evenings, and light that forgives nothing and rewards everything — Fort Lauderdale weddings keep us on our toes.
Fort Lauderdale means planning for sun that is gorgeous and unforgiving — we schedule ceremonies for the soft hours, scout shade for portraits, and treat an afternoon storm as intermission, not catastrophe.
Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Fort Lauderdale surprises us on the morning of.
Selected frames from the Elizabeth Scott portfolio. Ask and we will send full galleries from weddings closest in size and setting to yours.
Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Fort Lauderdale than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:14 PM and golden hour opens around 7:40 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:52 PM — a swing of 1 hour 22 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Fort Lauderdale ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

| July | 5:30 PM | 7:42 PM | 8:15 PM | 13.6 h |

Times computed for Fort Lauderdale (New York) on the 15th of each month. An outdoor ceremony in open shade can run 20–30 minutes later than the figures above; a church or ballroom ceremony is unaffected.
These are the Fort Lauderdale venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
